ICE BREAKER TRI...american fork, utah

{saturday/march 28, 2009}

just a sprint...

a few of us went to the ice breaker triathlon in american fork, utah, but some opted out in preparation for nationals in lubbock, texas in a few weeks. 

distances:

300-meter swim

12 mile bike

5 K run

we did the swim in an indoor pool, but it wan't called the "ice breaker" for no reason, because once we got outside, the weather that was reported at "feels like 30" and definitely felt like it.
